Boise is not small as there are about 240k in Boise and about 450k in the metro area and growing. Boise is focused on winning and everyone is aligned to make that happen.

Idaho is 15 times larger in size, but CT has almost twice their population. That's sparse no matter how you slice it.

What part of the metro Boise area having a population of close to a half a million don’t you understand. If you have ever visited Boise you would never think of it as rural or remote.

yeah, James Franklin is delusional if he thinks another penn state -level program is going to hand him the keys. The reasons he got fired are the same goals any of those other programs would have. he needs to humble himself, and re-set at VT, which is a big enough brand that he could build something awesome there and PROVE he's what he claims to be; someone who can win it all.

I think Franklin would be a home run hire for Virginia Tech. Their biggest issue is recruiting as they are not recruiting as well in Virginia as in the past and Franklin would open up Maryland and Pennsylvania as well. 24/7 ranks VT's roster talent at #40, 9th in the ACC. Plus, VT has decided to increase investment in athletics and they have a large loyal fan base that is desperate for a winner. Franklin had 5 top 10 and 7 top 25 seasons at Penn St. and 2 top 25 seasons in 3 years at Vandy. Winning in the ACC is a lot easier than winning in the Big 10 or SEC.

Boise St football has grown with the city and surrounds since WW2. As Jim wrote, all oars have been rowing on the same stroke.

Someone explain Boise State's success in today's college football. Location is rural and remote, can't be a ton of in-state talent, and how can it compete on NIL with the big boys? Yet, despite all that it's a perennial Top 20 program and was in the CFB playoffs last year.

Boise is a great destination, and they treat their FB'ers really well. No academic pressure, local heroes, usually great coaching, blue Turf was awesome(do they still have it?). Urban enough to be fun, physical geography is breathtaking. Tough to get there, but worth the trip.

Boise is a young and vibrant city. Awesome place. Not a large city by any stretch of the imagination.

Not that it matters in anyway but I would be very surprised if the defined "metro area" for Boise was smaller than the entire size of CT
